EdBoost’s mission is to reduce educational inequality by making high-quality, individualized academic help accessible to all children.  

Through generous need-based scholarships, EdBoost strives to make top-of-the line one-on-one tutoring, small group homework assistance, test preparation, and college counseling affordable for all students.

EdBoost is a nonprofit that specializes in providing one-on-one educational services and creating one-on-one tutoring, test prep, and college advising curricula.

In Los Angeles, we provide one-on-one academic tutoring, test preparation (ISEE, HSPT, SAT, ACT, and others), and college advising. At our Learning Center, in the Palms neighborhood of Los Angeles, we also provide an afterschool homework program with a low (5:1) student-to-tutor ratio

Youth service organizations, schools, and universities can purchase our SOURCE College Advising Program, which helps organizations train and supervise college and graduate students as they provide one-on-one college counseling to low-income high school students.
